“But Iran has gone far beyond what is necessary for a purely civilian programme. It has concealed several nuclear facilities from the International Atomic Energy Agency, played hide-and-seek with the international community, and rejected all offers of co-operation from the U.S., the EU, and others.” EnergyCommunityGoneOffersInternationalNuclearOperationsAgencyIranRejectedCiviliansFacilityConcealedProgrammesInternational CommunityHide And SeekAtomic Energy Author:Anders Fogh Rasmussen

“Getting enough energy to satisfy the needs of the developing world without bringing on an eco-disaster is not going to be easy. It will require a marriage of science and technology with good international policy, something that is always hard to bring off.

“At a time when the threat of nuclear arms is again increasing, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to underline that this threat must be met through the broadest possible international cooperation. This principle finds its clearest expression today in the work of the IAEA and its Director General. In the nuclear non-proliferation regime, it is the IAEA which ensures that nuclear energy is not misused for military purposes, and the Director General has stood out as an unafraid advocate of new measures to strengthen that regime.” TodayPurposeEnergyWishPrinciplesMilitaryExpressionArmsMetsDirectorsThreatInternationalNuclearCooperationRegimesCommitteesNobelProliferationUnafraidMisusedNorwegiansNuclear EnergyNuclear ArmsInternational Cooperation Author:Mohamed ElBaradei
“Simply put, we have to be smart about how we use our power. Not because we have less of it indeed, the might of our military, the size of our economy, the influence of our diplomacy, and the creative energy of our people remain unrivaled.

“I'm not against international institutions that would try to tackle global warming. But the way to go, at least in the short run, is to go to nuclear power. It's amazing to me that people who are so alarmed about global warming are so reluctant to adopt the obvious short-term solution - the bridge until the day when we have affordable renewable energy - of nuclear power.” PeopleWayTryingRunningEnergyTermSolutionsInstitutionsInternationalObviousNuclearBridgesGlobal WarmingShort TermAffordableReluctantRenewable EnergyNuclear Power Author:Charles Krauthammer
